He did his job pretty well. Why would Patricia and Quinn want to keep a guy like that?

I’m wondering the same thing. Isn’t punter one of those positions where you find someone who can do the job and keep him forever to maintain continuity? Letting him walk makes finding a new punter another problem they’ll need to solve, as if they don’t already have a lot of problems to solve.

Martin was a good punter, but his career took a weird turn after a bizarre off-season foot injury. Quinn let him go due to his high salary. Do you really want to pay a punter $2M/season when they can be easily replaced?
